'If you\'re going to produce a new garment that will be colored with dye, you should know that fabrics that go through a dyeing process will shrink. Have you accounted for this alteration? Our Project Managers got your back! They will prep the clothing during a shrinkage process. As a designer, this is so important because your customers want to buy products that they can wash confidently knowing it’s going to last a long time. Some areas to look at when trying to enhance the dimensional stability of your garment are the fiber content being used as well as any finishes added to the garment. Edybel reviews a development sample in this before and after video of a #dyeing shrink test. The pant which starts off as an off-white, will be colored, using #naturaldye, into a khaki. First, Edy measures the garment to document the before measurements which will be compared later. #Dyeing involves submerging fibers, yarns, or even entire rolls of fabric in a solution of water, dye, and mordant, which is a chemical that bonds dye to the fabric. Once the dye has adhered to the textile, it is rinsed to get rid of any liquid or impurities. While textile dyeing is a common procedure, it is also possible to dye garments once they have already been assembled. However, this approach can be complicated if there are multiple fabrics being used since each fabric will absorb and react to dyes differently. Many custom hoodies and custom shirts are garment dyed to offer a wide variety of colors without having to produce as many units. After the development sample has completed the #dyeingprocess, she will review the final color - color matching. Then Edy will take the new garment measurements. She found that the fabric shrunk up, as was expected by our knowledgeable Project Manager. So what to do with that info? Edybel and the pattern maker will adjust the #pattern. She will make it larger where it would shrink up, and smaller if it had expanded. Depending on your choice of materials, you may want to consider having your fabrics pre-washed before cutting. This step can prevent your garment from shrinking during clothing production or once the garment is washed by the customer. Additionally, it can help remove any impurities to prepare for the next steps. Care labels are also important for any items that require dry-cleaning or other special care. Overall, we are here to help test your products to make sure your customers are receiving garments that surpass their expectations. Read more!
